Yes they can. The gold nugget pleco will most likely keep to itself. If the gold nugget is large then I would advise adding large cories as well. I have a small gold nugget pleco and a school of cories in my 80 gallon right now and they completely ignore eachother

Hello Rae.

I have an 8" common Pleco and 4 Cory Cats in my 265g. They are all getting along very well. What size tank do you plan to house them in? I'm afraid 10g's may be too small as the Golden Nugget does grow to 8" and Plecos are large waste producers. Here is a link you may find helpful:

oh yeah i know that a ten gallon is way too small hopefully a 30 gallon tank is in my future... i was just curious because i really like the way the gold nuggets plecs look. SO cute with their spots! are albino corys too small?

whooops! just checked out that link.... it says minimum 55 gal for a gold nugget plec. i guess i wont be getting one for a 30 gal after all...
